The medieval period gave us some of the greatest, most enduring stories in history. Some are of them were real – some are altered into pure Legend. These legends usually had somebody doing villainous deeds. The even greater thing is that most of these were surrounded in mystery or conspiracy.

Christopher Marlowe

England 1593: In a house just outside of London, Christopher Marlowe, England's most celebrated poet and playwright - came to an abrupt and violent end.
